Custom glass stacking doors made to with the look of shoji screens separates the office/sitting area in this one-bedroom condo.

The Living Room, with a height of 32', was a challenge to make the room warm, inviting, and to have a human scale. The pair of custom 7' tall chandeliers, suspended from the vaulted beams, along with the proportions of the draperies, give the room a sense of a lower ceiling, making this grand space feel more personal and intimate.

Listening is the key to our successful design projects. Our firm specializes in listening to our client¿s requests and then transforming your design objectives into an environment tailored to your needs and wishes.
Our comprehensive design approach includes assessment of our clients¿ requirements for the space and the development of a long term strategy for its creation, including; spaceplanning and furniture selection; drapery design; management of our subcontractors (painters, plumbers, electricians, etc); supervision of the manufacturing of the design elements; supervision of the installation; and accessorizing and detailing the space.
We work closely with our clients¿ architects and contractors on new or renovation projects to realize the overall vision of the project. Pre-planning and integration of all of these disciplines prior to construction is the key to a successful project.

My fee structure is related to the size & scope of the design project.
For new construction or remodel projects, there is a design fee based on the square footage of the home. This fee encompasses
· Selection of standard plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures, flooring, hardware, cabinetry, tile, countertops, appliances, paint colors and treatments, exterior masonry, roofing, as well as various architectural and interior details.
· Consultation as required with the architect and/or contractor with respect to the project and any on-site consultation as required.
· Furniture layout, space planning, and electrical plans relating to furniture and art placement.
On non-structural projects, I change a small flat fee based on the scope of work and the furnishings are billed at cost-plus.
For all new clients, I request a retainer, which is returned once purchasing for the project reaches a predetermined point.
